About Me
"Becoming a part of an organization that conducts outstanding research and advances care for cancer patients is a real privilege."
F. Marc Stewart, M.D., says you’re likely to hear him before you see him. He’s known for whistling through the halls as he makes his rounds, a habit picked up from his physician-grandfather, whom he’d follow around as a 10-year-old. It’s also where he learned empathy, compassion and respect. “What I witnessed as I tagged along behind my grandfather in that small town hospital made medicine an easy career choice for me,” he says. “His example has greatly influenced the way I relate to patients, their family members and my colleagues.”
 
Dr. Stewart brings four decades of superlative experience and leadership to City of Hope. He served for two decades as medical director of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He held similar leadership roles at University of Massachusetts and University of Virginia.
 
A native of Indiana, Dr. Stewart received his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, where he also completed his residency and oncology fellowship. 
 
Dr. Stewart’s research interests include the biology of engraftment (when transplanted blood cells begin to multiply and recover), cellular immunotherapy (using the body’s immune cells to attack cancer), drug safety and health care delivery. He’s excited to be part of the City of Hope family. “I view my opportunity to work here helping patients as a true honor,” he said.
Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
